How to say "hanging" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- noun, suru verb, transitive verbThe loanword from English, covering the sense of hanging something up. It is the choice when an English-style term for this action is wanted, rather than a native expression.
- nounRefers to something that hangs down — a flap, lappet or similar hanging part — rather than to the act of hanging. Use it when you mean the hanging piece itself, not the action.
- 懸垂けんすいnoun, suru verb, intransitive verbThe Sino-Japanese noun for suspension, dangling or hanging: the state or act of a body or object hanging down. Choose it when you need that physical sense expressed as a noun.
Use 「ハング」 for the borrowed expression of hanging something up, 「たれ」 for a thing that hangs down such as a flap, and 懸垂 for the physical act or state of suspension or dangling.
